Then Allan Bloom's "The Closing of the American Mind." Then Morris Berman's "Dark Ages America." Then Jane Jacobs' "Dark Age Ahead." Then we will talk. Otherwise I am wasting my time. Susan Jacoby has also come out with a book on the topic. I don't recommend it but here is an <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/15/AR2008021502901.html" target="_blank">article</a> by her in "The Washington Post."Postscript: I also like Bill Readings' "The University in Ruins."</blockquote>
